So, you two or three fans of Just Chill Here have probably been wondering to yourselves if I have died or given up on the site. I have not. Work started, football started, the diet restarted, and of course there’s little Abby and big Wesley to ensure that any moment that resembles a little bit of R&R are anything but.

This morning I have decided, in lieu of my weekend morning routine of coffee and Seven Days to Die, I am going to write up a little bit of what I have been doing dietarily since around April/May, and I am going to explain why I think it works.

But instead of starting at the beginning, I want to start at now, particularly last night, but before that, I want to give you an overview of where it began before details. All you need to know is this…

As we entered the last quarter of the school year I was struggling with my diabetes and weight loss. My weight was pretty much locked in at 365 lbs. My blood glucose level was in the lower 200s even with medication. I was a lazy piece of shit. I was miserable. I was a whinin’ bitch on Facebook (still am).

A while before that a friend of mine passed a book to me called The Carb Nite solution. I read it, several times, and never launched. Never really started, until one weekend, and I did the diet for 4 months to some very nice numbers. 328 lbs…and my blood sugar was hanging around at 130. My A1C was 6. My doctor was impressed. I was taken off of one of my medications…I was feeling better than ever.

THEN VACATION HAPPENED

Where has the time gone? Well, it has gone into a steaming pile of nothing. I have been busy with the whole “being a daddy” gig and being a lazy waste of Cheeto smashing space. With the advent of the 2015-2016 school year I have decided to do right with trying to get on track with my health – the one thing that truly only matters in terms of my prolonged happiness. I use adult language so be warned.
